Re: Tiger 1 Build – Otto Carius ‘213’ in winter camo
Pretty darn good!
The only problem with any diorama, is that the audience becomes overly familiar with it. 1/16 is worse because the size has to be pretty big before you can stop the real world from impinging on your scene. I already find it a hassle to safely store my 1/32 dioramas. Not much return on your investment for my liking, unless you have a yard like Tiggr!
However, a workshop/factory would be good for my thread as it would get constant use and the audience expects to see it often. Hmmm.

Hi, Estniche
Not really sure what you mean about a 'factory' for the thread. Do you mean a scale version of something resembling this? :
or this perhaps? ...
In any event, if you want to introduce some variety into you build thread, it wouldn't do any harm to have some shots in sepia, or B & W. Personally, I'm a big fan of black and white photos, and this medium gives armoured vehicles that extra air of authentcity

Ahh.. not a middle or late Tiger, but clearly an Earle one
Brilliant all round, though...and it's good to still hear that rumbling sound!
